Livingston midfielder Martin Scott has
become an internet sensation thanks to his 40-yard strike against Alloa
Athletic last Saturday.

His 81st-minute effort, which gave Livingston a 2-0 lead, has been viewed nearly 250,000 times on YouTube.

The
28-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on the same day, took advantage of Alloa keeper Craig McDowall being out of position following
a clearance that was headed into Scott’s path who then lashed the ball home on the half-volley, arcing his effort over the despondent goalie.

Delighted boss John McGlynn said: “There’s no words really for the quality.

“It’s great that he’s had a bit of recognition and publicity through the goal, which you don’t often get at this level.

“I’m very pleased for him.”

Scott
re-joined Livingston in July having left the club in 2006 for Ross County and has scored five times in 28 appearances this term.
